crobosson4 Posted November 25, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2021 I just went through major back surgery and there is little I will be able to do this winter. So I decided to complete a Mantua Victory 776 double plank 1:98 model that I started when I had my last back surgery in 2008. I am at the planking stage. I somehow lost pages 3-4 of the build sheet. Are there anymore pages? I have 1-2, 4-5 Are there any for sale? any help will be appreciated.

mtaylor Posted November 25, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Tom. Moved to appropriate area. I suggest you do a short intro of yourself also in this topic. As for planking, do you have the plans? There are planking tutorials available here to help.. top of the page under the "More" heading.

crobosson4 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted November 26, 2021 I was asked to do a short intro. So here we go. I am new to any forum let alone this one, so if I make a mistake please correct me. I have always been interested in modeling during my youth. I worked as a guard in maximum security prisons for twenty years. The last 7 I was Sargent in k-9 unit with German Shepard attach dog, and a yellow lab as drug detection dog. After retiring from that I started my own business in new home construction and home remolding. Retired from that three years ago due to back issues. Just went through Third and hopefully last back surgery. JeffT, ccoyle, Keith Black and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryland Craze Posted November 28, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2021 Hi Tom and welcome to Model Ship World. Please share some pictures of your Victory build and I hope you can find replacement sheets for the missing plans. I wish you the best and hope that the third back surgery will be the last.

mtaylor Posted November 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted November 30, 2021 Tom, open a build log for this in the appropriate area. You'll get more "eyes" on it there. This area is just for introductions.
